More Water Bottle Learning Centers

More Water Bottle Learning Centers!

All you need is an empty water bottle, labels, and popsicle sticks to make these learning centers.

The popsicle sticks fit well inside of the bottles. They are easy to put in and take out.

Place the multiplication (or addition) facts on one side of each stick with regular school glue.

Place the answer on the back.

Make perimeter sticks too!

This is great for tactile learners. Students are able to touch each side while they determine the perimeter. Make sure to use really good glue when you attach these! Use an empty mayonnaise jar to store them.
